BURNER FOR GAS-STOVES.

SiECIFiCATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 631,436, dated August 22, 1899.

Application filed May 6, 1898. Serial No, 679,930. (No model.)

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT L. PITNEY, a" citizen of the United States, residing at Butler, in the county of Butler and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Burners for Gas-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to burners for gas heating and cooking stoves wherein a channel or channels form an annular feed cham her or chambers communicating atone side with a gas and air supply; and the invention consists in such features of construction as are more fully hereinafter set forth in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figurel is a plan or top view of my improved burner with the deflector in position, showing the support for the spreader and the means for connecting the same. Fig. 2 is a section through a portion of aheating-stove, showing my improved burner, also in section, applied and showing the spreader-plate in position. Fig. 3 is a plan or top view of the removable horizontal perforated partition. Fig. 4 is a plan view of a modification wherein two annular rings having channels therein are employed, connecting at various points with each other, the horizontal removable partition, as shown, as also the spreader-plate, (not shown,) being made to conform.

The burner consists ofthe central annular ring A, having the channel B, communicating with an air and gas supply pipe O. Cast integral with the ring A is an arm D to form the support for one end of the burner. This arm is provided with a depending lug d, provided with a perforation through which a screw d, passing through the wall of the stove, engages, being secured in place by a nut 01*, this device being employed where the burner is used in a heating-stove, a vertical perforation 61 near the end of the arm being employed to secure this end of the burner when used with a cooking-stove.

The supply-pipe O is provided near its end with an annular flange 0', the length of the arm D and the distance of the flange from the center being equal, so as to locate the burner centrally of the stove. the pipe which extends out through the cylinder or drum is cut away, as shown at O to form the air-inlet, and is of such size as to furnish a proper amount of air to the gas.-

The end of the pipe is provided with a hori zontal opening or perforation for the insertion of the gas-supply pipe, which may be constructed and connected in any preferred manner.

A web E, hereinafter referred to, is connected to the walls of the annular ring, these parts being cast integral, and by which construction it is only necessary to core out the supply-pipe.

A removable horizontal partition or plate G is mounted in the channel at or slightly above the center of the depth, which partition or plate is provided with a series of per- The end of' forations, which when the plate is in position should be so arranged that the space between two should be directly in line with the supply-pipe, so that the gas and air cannot pass directly out, but shall be caused to flow to each side of the channel before commencing to escape.

The deflector-plate H is mounted on the rims formed by the channels, leaving a central opening therein, and the escape-outlets or burner-openings are formed by casting a series of corrugations or notches on the lower face of the deflector-plate, formed on circles corresponding to the circles formed by the walls of the channels, these parts constituting the burner proper, and by the construction of parts shown it will be readily seen that the same can be readily cast without unnecessary coring and that the burner can be applied to various forms of both heating and cooking stoves.

To further insure the efficiency of the asaheater. This spreader-plateissupported by a cross bar or disk K, provided with legs K, which rest upon the deflector.

The web E, hereinbefore referred to, is provided with a central perforation e, as also the spreader-plate and bar or disk K. A bolt L, passing through said perforations and engaged by a nut L, acts to hold the spreaderplate in position and the several parts firmly together. The spreader-plate is used particularly with heatingstoves, and where the spreader is dispensed with then the disk K is connected with the web E, and the bolt and nut act to lock the deflector in place.

As illustrated in the modification, Fig. 4-, two rings are employed, the channels being connected at two, three, or more points, as shown at (1., and the removable horizontal partition, consisting of two disks, connected by bridge-walls corresponding to the number of points of connection between the channels, the deflector being constructed in a similar -manner, all other parts of the device used in I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In a gas-stove, a central channeled annular ring, a deflector to cover the same, a supply-pipe leading to the channel, a web extending between the walls of the ring formed integral with the ring, a cross-bar to engage the deflector, and a bolt to engage the crossbar and the web, and a nut for securing the deflector in position, substantially as described.

2. In a gas-stove, a central channeled ann ular ring, a perforated partition-plate within the channel, a deflector, a supply-pipe leading to the channel, a web extending. between the walls of the ring formed integral with the ring, a cross-bar to engage the deflector, and means to secure the cross-bar, the web and the deflector together, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT L. PITNEY.
